Ingredients

2 garlic cloves
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
6 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 lemon wedges

Directions

In a mini food processor, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, wine, oil, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard. Grind the mustard sauce until combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard to the sauce and stir to combine. Set aside mustard sauce.

Preheat the broiler. Line a heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick spray. Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Broil for 2 minutes. Spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets. Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.

Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Recommended Wine: 2001 Pecchenino

Origin: Alba, Piedmont

Grape: Dolcetto

Wine notes: Using white wine for fish and red wine for meat no longer

applies. Break with tradition. Italy produces many interesting reds, so

for this dish I chose a classic Italian wine made from the dolcetto grape.

This lighter bodied red will marry well with my salmon dish which has a rich and silky texture. The delicacy of the herbs in my mustard glaze goes

nicely with the fruity nature of the wine. My rule for pairing wine with

dishes is to go with what tastes good.

Wine Pouring Notes: Do not fill above the curve of the bowl, never more

than 1/2 full, that way you can get a true sense of the wine's aroma and a

better sense of its bouquet. To get the full experience of the wine, place

your nose into the glass and take in the wine's beautiful aroma.

Great Slamon and sooo Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe so many times. My family loves it and every time I make it for friends I am asked for the recipe. I... bake mine in the oven on 350 for 15-20 min instead of broiling it and it comes out perfect. When I am in a hurry, I have mixed all the ingredients instead of using a food processor. It is a liitle more "earthy" and I actually now prefer it that way. You just have to make sure that everything is chopped very fine.Read more

Mustard and Salmon = a perfect pair
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow, what an incredibly delicious dish. My taste buds went crazy! I followed the recipe nearly exactly, except for not... broiling - and rather, baking at 350 F for 20 minutes and then increasing to 400 F for a remaining 4 minutes. I reserved some of the mustard sauce (that a spoon or brush from the fish had not touched!), and poured it lightly over the fillets upon serving. Oh, and I marinated the salmon for 10 minutes with some lemon juice and a rub of crushed/grated garlic. I went heavy on the black pepper prior to placing in the oven. This results in a beautiful presentation, and a healthy meal to boot! I never use recipes for fish that require cream, because creaminess really takes away from the delicate flavors of fish - and it can take a healthy product such as salmon, and disturb it. :) Served this with steamed broccoli and a spinach salad. It would have been better to sub the salad with some roasted yams/sweet potatoes for some starch.. but that's obviously up to each personal menu. The fish though, EXCELLENT! Giada has pretty much never, ever ever ever ever ever failed me. Her creations are always extremely easy, extremely tasty, extremely pretty, usually healthy, and the ingredients are typically either already in your possession or they are simple to find at any store.

A tried and true staple
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe numerous times and always with the same amazing results. The salmon stays so moist and the flavor is... just outstanding. My husband loves this! It's gotten to the point where I pretty much use whatever mustards and herbs I have on hand and it always turns out great. I'm not sure what some of these other reviewers are complaining about...Read more
